- 1 cup (250 mL) shredded lettuce
In a large bowl, combine butter, oil, garlic, chili powder, paprika, thyme, cumin, salt, onion powder and cayenne. Add turkey scaloppini and toss to coat evenly.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat and add scallopini and cook, turning once for about 4 minutes per side or until deep golden brown.
In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise and chipotle. Spread buns with mayo and top with lettuce. Divide scaloppini into buns and serve.
Tip: Want to kick up the heat in this sandwich you can increase the cayenne to 1/2 tsp (2 mL).
These scaloppini are also delicious served on their own with rice and vegetables.
If there are leftovers be sure to enjoy the scaloppini cold in a sandwich the next day for lunch.
